Asked whether security was an issue on his mind ahead of the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said: “I think you always think about it.

“I think our people have done a really good job doing everything they can to protect our fans and protect the players and everyone involved that’s here in this building, you, me, but you’re always worried.

“I mean, that’s the world we live in. So you put your faith in the people that are taking care of us and you trust them.”
